Just wanted to give you some feedback. This is unsupported and you probably already know about it but in case it hasn't been mentioned...
There is an excellent mod called Forgotten Empires. I installed ToME on top of it(knowing this was unsupported) and now both Conquerors and ToME crash when I start a standard game(though I can't be sure that Conquerors wasn't already crashing before I installed FE since I didn't test it). Just wanted to provide you with that data point. This is on Windows 7 64-bit. Let me know if you'd like me to do any further testing or if you know of a work around to get these 2 to play nice. I should mention that FE includes a patch to fix the graphics of AOE II which probably further complicates things.
